Vita Reinfelde
I am a supervisor. In my work I use Global DISC, Growth Zone and coaching. I have worked with people throughout my professional life. And I am still fascinated by how differently we can see one and the same situation.
It was exactly this difference – that two people in the same meeting seem to have been in two different meetings – that led me to cognitive diversity. And to the question that runs through all my work: what does it take for a person to dare to say “I see this differently”?
In human resources management I saw this from one side – as a manager trying to understand a team. In supervision I see it from the other – as someone who does not make the decisions but helps people see them.
Professional experience.
Three fields in which I have worked with people from different angles.

How I work.
I take responsibility for the process. You take responsibility for your decisions and actions.
I ask questions, structure the process, help you reflect and see patterns, offer methods and create a safe environment. I do not give ready-made solutions and I do not make decisions for you or your team.
Everyone sees through their own prism.
Every person in a team brings their own experience, values, ideas and point of view. We interpret situations and other people through our own prism, and a different view is not automatically a wrong view.
- Me
- My values, experience and behaviour
- I understand my “prism”Why I react the way I do and what I take for granted.
- I see that others see the world differently
- Cognitive diversityDifferent points of view as a team resource, not an obstacle.
- Psychological safety + courage + supportDiversity alone is not enough. It needs an environment in which it is safe to show it.
- Different opinions may be voiced
- Better cooperation, new ideas and development
Three things that do not change here.
Respect
Respect for your experience, beliefs, choices and boundaries. You do not have to reveal more than you wish to at any given moment.
- listening
- a non-judgemental attitude
- respecting boundaries
- equal treatment
Openness
We speak openly about the terms of cooperation, methods, goals, possibilities and limitations. If a question goes beyond the limits of my professional competence, I say so.
- clear terms
- explained methods
- responsibility for my own actions
Confidentiality
You know what happens to your information and what an organisation may or may not learn about the content of supervision. In team work I provide only process-level information and anonymised trends – never who said what.
- individual content stays between us
- an employer learns only that the session took place
- for a team – the overall dynamic, not names
